Efferalgan child

For parents, increasing the body's temperature in a child is, of course, an unpleasant task, but one can not name it out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, all children from time to time come across colds and viruses. The rise in temperature is a normal reaction of a child's organism to foreign viruses and bacteria. That's how antibodies are produced. If the temperature to 38.5 degrees is recommended not to be knocked down, so as not to disarm the organism, then its excess is an occasion for taking antipyretics. Making the right choice is not easy. One tablet is suitable for children, the other for syrups, and for others, suppositories are more effective.

In the process of experiments, many mothers come to the fact that the effer langan baby, which is produced in the form of candles and syrup, shows good results.

How does Efferalgan work?

The main indications for the use of effergangan are a decrease in temperature and the removal of various kinds of pain (headache, dental and muscular pain). In addition, antipyretic candles for effer langan children are also used for influenza, infections and inflammatory diseases.

This drug can be administered to children who are one month old. If the child's weight is not less than four kilograms, then one can use children's candles from the effer langan temperature before. The daily dose depends on the total mass of the baby. Pediatricians daily dosage of pediatric effergangan is recommended to divide into four divided doses so that the child receives a suppository every six hours. If the child is less than two months, the dosage of the effer langan candles is reduced to one suppository per day. Please note that suppositories are available in three dosages: 80, 150 and 300 milligrams. Despite the fact that the weight and age of the child are indicated in the annotation, the dosage should be prescribed by a doctor. The way to use effergangan is simple enough - just wash your hands before putting the suppository into the rectum. After two hours, the maximum effect will be achieved. The main advantage of candles in comparison with syrups and tablets is that it is easier to use them, because infants do not know how to properly drink syrups, much less swallow tablets.

If, after three days of taking effergangan, the symptoms of fever do not disappear and the temperature without the drug begins to rise again, then the child should be consulted with the doctor.

In addition to candles, there is also an effergangan syrup for children, which can be given to babies between the ages of one month and 12 years. It is given in pure form or diluted with water, milk. It is very convenient that on the measured spoon the weight of the child is indicated. Remember, you can not give your child more than 60 mg / kg of syrup per day. Intermediate body weight by fissions on a measuring spoon is not indicated, but the dosage of effer langan syrup is very easy to calculate (15 mg / kg).

Overdose, side effects, contraindications

Syrup and candle efflergan should not be taken to children who are hypersensitive to paracetamol, disorders liver function, diarrhea and inflammation in the rectum.

If the child received an increased dose of effergangan, then he may experience stomach pain, vomiting, sweating, pale skin and nausea. In this case, the reception of effergangan should be stopped, and the child must be taken to the hospital.

Mom's to note

Mom who chose efferlangan, recommend the following scheme, which allows to prolong the effect of taking the drug. When the temperature rises, give the baby a syrup diluted with water, and after six hours, put a suppository. It is possible that the effect will last for 3-4 hours longer.

And most importantly - do not be ill!
